My sister has DID, and her life has been very difficult. There is NOTHING funny about watching a loved one deal with this disorder. There is NOTHING funny about watching a person switching to their different identities, and trying to figure out which one you are working with at that moment. Folks with DID spend years trying to figure out why they are not like everyone else, what is "wrong" with them..then years trying to get help...and coping with the disorder.
The idea of this show is in extremely poor taste, only people that don't have a clue of the disorder would consider a comedy about it.
Do your research, and talk with people with DID, before you try to make it humorous. DID folks need constructive support, not comedy.
